METHOD OF MAKING GLAZIERS POINTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 438,582, dated October14, 1890.

Application filed January 20, 1890 Serial No. 337,529. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. HASTINGS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in the Process of andApparatus for Manufacturing Glaziers Points, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a process of and apparatus for manufacturingglaziers points from the wings produced by pointing wire nails; and ithas for its object the saving of these wings or scraps, which haveheretofore been treated as refuse, and utilizing them for making intoglaziers points, which are produced at a cost much less than where themetal is specially prepared for them.

My invention consists in features of novelty to be hereinafterdescribed, and then pointed out in the claims.

I order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed todescribe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure I is a plan view of the machine, and

' Fig. II is a side View. Fig. III is a view of one of the wings, andFig. IV is the finished point.

In the drawings, 1 represents the bed-plate of the machine that may beprovided with suitable supports-such as seen at 2and 3 representsstandards or housings at each end of the bed-plate.

4 5 is apair of geared rolls arranged side by side and having necks 6and shoulders 7, that abut against the housings to prevent longitudinalmovement of the rolls. The necks 6 have bearing in brasses 8, which arefitted in elongated horizontal openings 9 in the housings or standards.These brasses may be adjusted to bring the rolls at a variable distanceasunder by means of set-screws 10, that engage in screw-threadedopenings in the standards and bear against the brasses.

Arranged above the rollers and at a suitable relative distance from thespace between them is a chute or trough 11, that is inclined downwardlyat its delivery end and is supported on an upright 12 in any suitablemanner.

In Fig. III is shown the shape of the wings which are produced by thepointing of wire nails, which are in the form of pyramidoids.

These pyramidoids when rolled out by the above-described machine formthe triangular glaziers points. The pyramidoids or wings,'as they passfrom the delivery end of the chute, drop between the rolls and areflattened to the triangular shape shown in Fig. IV, and

the points produced then drop from between the rolls through an opening13, formed in the bed-plate, into a keg or other receiver placed belowthe opening, or into a chute 14, which leads to a suitable receiver.

It will be seen that the shape of the wings is such that when flattenedout by the process of rollinga triangular glaziers point will result. Byreason of the shape of the wings the utilization of them for theproduction of glaziers points is a practical success.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein, anddesire to secure plate, a pair of geared rolls journaled in saidhousings, and a chute or trough arranged above the rolls to delivermaterial between them, substantially as set forth.
